Endogeneous Formative Constructs
Posted: Sat Aug 08, 2015 10:46 am
Hi there
I have a general questions about formative constructs, especially endogeneous ones!
Is it critical to use formative constructs at the endogeneous level?
I recently read about general problems with endogeneous formative variables.
Has anybody heard about that and if there is a "real" problem, is there any feasible solution to that?
Should I perform the analysis as described in this text?:
http://elpub.bib.uni-wuppertal.de/edocs ... p14005.pdf
For a better understanding I attached my research model.
Basically, I have 2 endogeneous (formative) variables (Diversification and Risk) but I'd like to measure even the influence of Diversification on risk.
The measurment of the remaining constructs is mixed, some are formative, some are refelctive.
Thank you very much
Best regards
Raffaele
